Wage Determination LA20250016.pdf

This document is a General Decision Number wage determination for building construction projects in Allen County, Louisiana, issued by the U.S. Department of Labor. The document establishes prevailing wage rates for various construction trades effective January 3, 2025, including specific hourly rates for workers such as asbestos workers ($32.66), electricians ($31.98), plumbers ($26.50), roofers ($23.04), and laborers ($12.34). The wage determination applies to contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act and provides detailed guidance on wage rates for different job classifications, with notes about potential adjustments under Executive Orders 14026 and 13658, which establish minimum wage requirements for federal contractors.

The document also outlines a comprehensive wage determination appeals process, providing three levels of review for interested parties who disagree with initial wage determinations. This includes submitting requests to the Branch of Wage Surveys, the Wage and Hour Administrator, and potentially the Administrative Review Board. Additionally, the document explains how wage rates are identified (using union, survey, and state adoption rate identifiers) and notes that rates are typically updated annually, usually in January, to reflect current collective bargaining agreements and survey data.
